Synopsis
'If you had met my father you would never, not for an instant, have thought he was an assassin'...
Heartbreaking, joyous, traumatic, intimate and revelatory, RECKONING is the book where Magda Szubanski, one of Australia's most beloved performers, tells her story.
In this extraordinary memoir, Magda describes her journey of self-discovery from a suburban childhood, haunted by the demons of her father's espionage activities in wartime Poland and by her secret awareness of her sexuality, to the complex dramas of adulthood and her need to find out the truth about herself and her family. With courage and compassion she addresses her own frailties and fears, and asks the big questions about life, about the shadows we inherit and the gifts we pass on.
Honest, poignant, utterly captivating, RECKONING announces the arrival of a fearless writer and natural storyteller. It will touch the lives of its readers.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Heartbreaking, joyous and revelatory, Reckoning is the book where Magda Szubanski, one of Australia's most beloved icons, tells her story.She describes her journey from an ordinary suburban childhood, haunted by the demons of her father's espionage activities in wartime Poland and the ordeal of growing up gay in the 1970s, to the complex dramas of adulthood and unexpected fame.Compelled to learn and understand the truth, Magda uncovers the traumatic secrets that have held her captive. She grapples with big questions about life and death, love and loss, and how humour helps us survive.Intimate, poignant, captivating, Reckoning is the work of a fearless writer and natural storyteller.'A memoir that will dazzle every kind of reader.Reckoning is a riveting, overwhelmingly poignant autobiography by a woman of genius. It is a book about how someone might live with the idea of killing the thing they love. It is a story of love and death and redemption and a daughter's love for her father. It is an extraordinary hymn to the tragic heroism at the heart of ordinary life and the soaring moral scrutiny of womankind. Every library should have it, every school should teach it.' Peter Craven, The Australian'This is a remarkable memoir, that weaves the tragedy of twentieth century history into a personal narrative of coming to terms with family and self, and manages to honour both stories. The writing is assured and controlled, the storytelling expert and thoughtful, the language eloquent and moving. The writing, the story, the voice- all of it is beautiful.'
